Shouldn't this thread be in Pirates, where such luminaries as Nef Yoo, Bart, DaveL, Auntie and Mad Will can offer their guidance? I'm sure the pirates can give you some sound and impartial financial advice...edit: friend him on Facebook. He converses with people there.

Aclor79, seriously, search Facebook for Bobby Henderson. He's not hiding from you. You wanna talk to him? So talk to him.

Bobby Henderson wrote:Hah... hey sorry I missed your emails. I put the pirate ship fund on hold some time ago when we started raising money for our Kiva team. But I do seriously want to get a pirate ship for all of us, so we need to get organized again. Do you have some ideas on how we can pull this off? We need a few million dollars for a decent sized pirate ship.

My response:

I was wondering how I could make an individual donation towards the building or purchasing of the pirate ship. By the way, it's great to be talking (is it talking if it's virtual?) to you.

Praise be to The Sauced And Noodly One, and may your cheese never be from a green cardboard can. R'amen.

Is there a dedicated thread regarding the particulars of the pirate ship? I haven't seen any posts about it on the main page in a long while; I don't want to inundate Mr. Henderson with e-mails asking questions others have already asked or questions that may not be concerns for anyone else.
